Dehydration Influences Mood, Cognition

Proper hydration is particularly important for high-risk groups, such as the elderly, people with diabetes, and children.

While most understand that dehydration can have medical complications, a new study shows that even mild dehydration can influence mood, energy levels and the ability to think clearly.

Regrettably, we often use thirst as an indicator for when we need to drink — a response that experts say is too late to avoid many of the detrimental effects of dehydration.

In two recent studies, researchers at the University of Connecticut’s Human Performance Laboratory discovered the mental, mood and cognitive downside of even mild dehydration.

Investigators determined that it didn’t matter if a person had just walked for 40 minutes on a treadmill or was sitting at rest – the adverse effects from mild dehydration were the same.

Mild dehydration is defined as an approximately 1.5 percent loss in normal water volume in the body.

The take home message is that individuals need to stay hydrated at all times, not just during exercise, extreme heat or exertion.

“Our thirst sensation doesn’t really appear until we are 1 [percent] or 2 percent dehydrated. By then dehydration is already setting in and starting to impact how our mind and body perform,” says Lawrence E. Armstrong, one of the studies’ lead scientists and an international expert on hydration.

The importance for everyone to stay hydrated is a message that needs to be promoted.

“Dehydration affects all people, and staying properly hydrated is just as important for those who work all day at a computer as it is for marathon runners, who can lose up to 8 percent of their body weight as water when they compete.”

In the study, separate groups of young women and men were tested. Twenty-five women with an average age of 23 took part in one study. The men’s group consisted of 26 men with an average age of 20.

All of the participants were healthy, active individuals, who were neither high-performance athletes nor sedentary — typically exercising for 30 to 60 minutes per day.

Each participant took part in three evaluations that were separated by 28 days. All of the participants walked on a treadmill to induce dehydration, and all of the subjects were hydrated the evening before the evaluations commenced.

As part of the evaluation, the subjects were put through a battery of cognitive tests that measured vigilance, concentration, reaction time, learning, memory, and reasoning. The results were compared against a separate series of tests when the individuals were not dehydrated.

The young women experienced mild dehydration which caused headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. They also perceived tasks as more difficult when slightly dehydrated, although there was no substantive reduction in their cognitive abilities.

The research findings are published in The Journal of Nutrition.

In the tests involving the young men, mild dehydration caused some difficulty with mental tasks, particularly in the areas of vigilance and working memory, according to the results of the second UConn study.

While the young men also experienced fatigue, tension, and anxietywhen mildly dehydrated, adverse changes in mood and symptoms were “substantially greater in females than in males, both at rest and during exercise,” according to the study. The men’s study was published in the British Journal of Nutrition.

“Even mild dehydration that can occur during the course of our ordinary daily activities can degrade how we are feeling – especially for women, who appear to be more susceptible to the adverse effects of low levels of dehydration than men,” says Harris Lieberman, one of the studies’ co-authors.

“In both sexes these adverse mood changes may limit the motivation required to engage in even moderate aerobic exercise. Mild dehydration may also interfere with other daily activities, even when there is no physical demand component present.”

Investigators are uncertain why women and men are so adversely affected by mild dehydration. One possibility is that neurons in the brain detect dehydration. These neurons may then signal parts of the brain regulating mood.

This process could be part of an ancient warning system protecting humans from more dire consequences, and alerting them to the need for water to survive.

In order to stay properly hydrated, experts like Armstrong recommend that individuals drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day, which is approximately equivalent to about 2 liters of water.

People can check their hydration status by monitoring the color of their urine. Urine should be a very pale yellow in individuals who are properly hydrated.

Urine that is dark yellow or tan in color indicates greater dehydration. Proper hydration is particularly important for high-risk groups, such as the elderly, people with diabetes, and children.

Instead of being viewed as lazy or slackers, workers who catch 40 winks in the afternoon may be gaining a bit more respect — or at least a bit more understanding. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, found that napping an hour can dramatically restore and boost your brain power. Amazingly, they found a nap can actually make you smarter.

On the other hand, the more hours we spend awake, the more sluggish our minds become. These findings should give pause to college students who pull “all nighters” cramming for finals. The new study found this practice decreases the ability to learn by nearly 40 percent.

“Sleep not only rights the wrong of prolonged wakefullness, but at a neurocognitive level, it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap,” Matthew Walker, an assistant professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and lead investigator, said in a statement.

In the study, 39 healthy young adults were divided into two groups — nap and no-nap. Both groups were given rigorous learning tasks at noon to stress the hippocampus, a region of the brain that helps store fact-based memories. Results in both groups were similar.

At 2 p.m., the first group napped for 90 minutes while the no-nap group stayed awake. At 6 p.m., both groups were subjected to a new series of learning exercises. Those who napped performed markedly better and actually improved their ability to learn.

Walker said researchers believe sleep is needed to clear the brain’s short-term memory storage and make room for new information.

“It’s as though the e-mail inbox in your hippocampus is full and, until you sleep and clear out those fact e-mails, you’re not going to receive any more mail. It’s just going to bounce until you sleep and move it into another folder,” Walker said.

In addition to boosting your brain power, one study showed that napping can reduce the risk of a fatal heart attack by 37 percent.

Use these five tips for an effective, refreshing afternoon nap:

• The best naptime is 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. when you experience a natural dip in energy.

• Get comfortable. If you have a couch or comfy chair, use them, says Salary.com. Otherwise, stash a yoga mat and pillow behind your desk.

• Draw the shades and wear a sleep mask to stimulate melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone, advises Body Ecology.

• Your body temperature may fall during sleep, so cover yourself with a light blanket.

• Set an alarm to make sure you don’t oversleep.

As a Marriage and Family Counselor, I was particularly touched a few years ago by a plea from a client who sent me a note designating herself furtively as “Lady In Distress”. She said she loved her husband dearly, and appreciated so much how hard he worked for the good of their family.  But she had become concerned about what she called the disintegration of their family time.  It seems each night dad would arrive home at 6:00 and exhaustedly plop himself in front of the television to watch the news.  She’d have dinner ready promptly at 6:30 after which he’d head back to his Lazy Boy loungechair in front of the TV.  There he’d grab his remote and vegetate nightly.  Often he’d doze off and snore loud enough to make the cats leave the room, thoroughly annoyed..  Sometimes he’d chat with the kids if they happened to enter his domain to ask something, but was never willing to leave the general area…and certainly never willing to leave the house.

After considerable prodding from her, he finally agreed that he had fallen into some bad night-time habits, but said he was just too exhausted after working so hard and just wanted / needed to relax.  However he also agreed to listen to any suggestions I might have to offer, so at their request I gave him a little prescription with a promise that within 30 days it would improve both his energy level as well as family harmony.  It was simple, but effective.

Following dinner each night he was to put on a comfortable pair of shoes and with his wife, instead of migrating to the television they would head out the front door. He was to look at his watch and start off walking at a comfortable pace in whatever direction he wanted, but for just 15 minutes.  I told him at that point he could either stay where he was or turn around and walk home, which was a sneaky way to get him to be ambulatory for just 30 leisurely minutes each night.  He was then allowed to go back to watching TV the rest of the evening if he wished to.

Reluctantly, he agreed.  

To his surprise, after the first week he actually admitted to feeling better and even having more energy.  His second week I told him it was time to start alternating taking one of his kids along instead of his wife each time.

By the end of the month he said he had gotten to the point where he didn’t bother to even look at his watch anymore, but figured he was averaging a very enjoyable 90-minute stroll each night.  Often he would get acquainted with neighbors he never knew he had.  He also said he had started learning a lot about his kids.  He said although they weren’t too excited about going along with him at first, as soon as they realized they would have a chance to have dad all to themselves to talk to, they started fighting for their turn each week.  

Surprisingly (to him, at least), his flow of energy continued to increase over that first 30-day trial period and he said he was thrilled to see he had even dropped a pant size.  He also admitted to me privately that he liked the idea that now his kids will have future memories about taking these pleasant walks with dad instead of remembering him as the grumpy guy flopped incommunicado in front of the television each night.

So how ’bout you, dads?  Give up a half hour of tv each night?  You never know.  It could be the beginning of something really great in your life….and in your family’s also. What have you got to lose?

Best wishes to each of you for a healthier and more fulfilling family life in this coming year—

D.R.M.

Q= What is Light and Truth?
A= Light= the force that activates intellect! Light is an ever present life inducing power that manifests energy that abides in all things. Light gives life to all things and is the Law by which all things are governed!
• • •
D&C 88:11-13 tells us,
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—
13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
67 And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.
• • •
D&C 50:24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.

Yes, Truth is knowledge!
Light expands us so we can receive more truth.
Obedience is required to receive more Light!
Truth & Knowledge= 1. Obedience, 2. Light (Capacitating Power) 3. Truth (Enligtenment!

Q= What happens to our children or ancestors who never had the chance to hear the Gospel Truth?

A= D&C 137: 1, 7, 10. Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be cheirs of the celestial kingdom of God;
• • •
10 And I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven.
• • •
D&C 137: 1, 7, 10
1 The heavens were opened upon us, and I beheld the celestial kingdom of God, and the glory thereof, whether in the body or out I cannot tell.
7 Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God;
• • •
Q= “Because Jesus died for us, we all are going to Heaven.”
A= Yes, but, in Heaven are many “mansions”. By our “Works” and in keeping the principles and laws of God, shall we receive our various Glory or Mansion in Heaven.
• • •
D&C 101: 65
65 Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;
• • •
D&C 105: 4-5
4 And are not united according to the union required by the law of the celestial kingdom;
5 And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.
• • •

Q= I’ve been told that Heaven consists of a Celestial world, or Sun, A Telestial World, or Moon, and a Terrestrial world, or star. So also is the Resurrection.

A= God is governed by laws. So are we. We cannot go to a “higher” glory if we cannot live the laws of that Glory! That is why in this earth live, the more knowledge (or Truth) and light we attain, it will rise with us in the resurrection!
• • •
Moses 2: 16
16 And I, God, made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the greater light was the sun, and the lesser light was the moon; and the stars also were made even according to my word.
• • •
1 Cor. 15: 41
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
• • •
We each will go to Heaven and to a deserving Glory based upon our Works and the Laws we are willing to live!

Why is it that sometimes only one of a city, or household, receives the Gospel? It has been made known unto me that it is because the righteous dead who have now received the Gospel in the Spirit World (after death), are exercising themselves, and in answers to prayers, Elders of the Church are sent to the homes of their posterity that the Gospel might be taught to them and through their righteousness they might be privileged to have a descendant in the flesh do the work for their kindred dead! (Temple Work) Elder Melvin J Ballard.
